and it does networking and plug and play so easily.

I just don't get the xbox love here.

i think its mostly first to market with it. - tRuMaN Aug 26, 13:07
We can't put in a game without the system needing to update. Downloading from their store is a nightmare. I don't know what Sony was thinking with it. -- nm - David Aug 26, 13:07 9
- weird. i've probably got one of the slowest connections here and that's never been a problem for me. -- nm - decline Aug 26, 13:08 8
  - It was comical the two hours we spent trying to download Scott Pilgrim. We'd get looped and looped and looped. - David Aug 26, 13:10 7
    - i have never had this problem. -- nm - tRuMaN Aug 26, 13:10 6
      - I've never had any problem with the store. -- nm - Ender Aug 26, 13:11 5
        
        Double ditto. - Stephen (Status Seeker) Aug 26, 13:14
        
        Then I hate you both. -- nm - David Aug 26, 13:12 3
        
        is happy that you were finally able to adequately express these feelings. - tRuMaN Aug 26, 13:14 2
        
        I'd been trying to spare ender's feelings, but the Brandon Phillips defense is a dealbreaker. -- nm - David Aug 26, 13:15 1
        
        hmm, i can see what that would upset you. -- nm - tRuMaN Aug 26, 13:17
One of the main reasons I *haven't* bought one is because Sony went full-bore with their "we're arrogant assholes" marketing campaign. Hated it. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 26, 13:06 6

  - This. And the non-backward compatiblity. - JaxSean Aug 26, 13:11 4
    - Xbox 360 isn't backwards-compatible with the original XBox, is it? Or is it? -- nm - Beryllium Aug 26, 13:16 3
      - I didn't have an Xbox. I wouldn't have had a 360 if they hadn't screwed the PS3 launch. - JaxSean Aug 26, 13:22
      - For a fair # of games, it is. They've only recently stopped supporting X-Box Live for XB games. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 26, 13:21 1
        
        ah, hmm. OK, well, then ... the direction I was going to go with that statement is shot down, so I have to fall back to Plan B. - Beryllium Aug 26, 13:21
